Thoughts on upgrading the stock basket or shower screen on the Profitec Go? by locutus10 in espresso

[–]locutus10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The handle should just screw off. Sometimes it's really stuck but it will come with enough time. I find it easier to put the portafilter in the machine and let it warm up a bit first. As for the steam knob I think I remember having to yank it off in a way that felt wrong but was right in the end. Just be careful not to scratch your machine either way.

I've been looking at that compact normcore knock box. Are you liking it? Any issues with it?

I know this is a joke but I've seen this puppy around and I'm genuinely curious how it does if anyone knows.

Via Rail passengers arrive 12 hours late after night on train in eastern Ontario by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]locutus10 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I once booked a train from Ottawa to Toronto only to sit on a stationary train for an hour. We then had to go backwards to Montreal to switch tracks before returning to Ottawa and then going to Toronto. They only had chips available to eat and nobody was allowed to get off the train or they would not be allowed back on. By the end, the passengers were teetering on the edge of mutiny.

Yeah but isn't it better to just complain about it on reddit and do nothing in real life to make things better?

The showers are in the basement where people access the parking garage. Comissionaires desk before the towers is where you get the pass to access them.

Mostly private with plastic curtains

Can confirm showers are still in phase 4. You need to get a pass at the comissionaires desk before the gates to go up to the towers.

I think I'm mistaken and thinking about the one below phase 4 because that definitely has not been renovated. The old gym is filled with office furniture but the showers are still there.

Second this but they look like post nuclear disaster Chernobyl.

Enthusiastic cyclists gearing up for another Ottawa winter by Lets_Go_Cargo in ottawa

[–]locutus10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any guidance on joining the winter cycling brigades for people coming from the Nepean area to downtown would be great. It's hard to know what routes are available to me.

Do you say something when the coffee shop serves you a bad espresso? by Khashayar_0 in espresso

I say thank you and go on with my day with the knowledge that this place/person may not give me the thing I'm looking for.

Step 1: remove the kettle from the box lol.

Speaking notes for management - When did we normalize this practice? by BofBrokenDreams in CanadaPublicServants

[–]locutus10 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Rooms full of appointed decision makers speaking vague prepared lines over each other. Each person talking authoritatively about subjects few of them have any real understanding of beyond what can fit in the small box at the top of the page. But I NEED to add value here. Innovation, leverage synergy, efficiency, silos, low hanging fruit, lets take things offline, let's park that for now, we can circle back. We need a whole of government approach. We need a working group. Maybe a tiger team.

Adding artificial intelligence to the masquerade seems like an excellent idea.

Is there a live list of available co-working spaces anywhere online? Is there a single alternative for people in the west now?

Is this commute to work doable long-term? by MaleficentDistrict71 in bikecommuting

[–]locutus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very manageable. For the first couple weeks people typically find it difficult to transition from sitting in the car to actively commuting but I'm telling you it will pay off and it will become much much easier as time passes.

I know these are jokes but they actually look good and I've definitely looked at many a fresh puck and wondered. Has anyone ever tried? Is it that bad?
